Friabililty Test of Mefenamic Acid Tablets

unmatch equal of the interrogatory criteria of mechanical strength of tab keys tablet friability testing. Tablets must be able to withstand mechanical stresses during their manufacturing, distribution and treatment by the end-user. During the process of coating, transportation, packing and bear upon tablet, tablet will lose whatsoever weight. Because of that, the friability test is performed in the pharmaceutic industry to test the tendency of a tablet breaking into smaller pieces during transit.It includes repeatedly dropping a sample of tablets over a fixed time by using friability tester and so checking whether any tablets argon broken, and calculate the contribution of redness weight of tablets. A good compressed tablet should not passage more than 1% of its weight. Based on this audition, after the operation ended, the weight loss of tablets is 0. 0395g which is equivalent to 0. 68% loss from its weight. This means, those tablets are good quality and strong tablets w hich thence can endure the stresses.There are mayhap some error during handling the experiment that can lead to incorrect results. later on operation ended, the tablets are not in full cleaned from dust which is affect the result. When finished, the samples have to be de-dusted first before weigh again. death The dowery loss of weight of samples is 0. 68%. The samples are good quality tablets because the percentage loss of weight are not more than 1%. 1. http//en. wikipedia. org/wiki/Friability 2. http//www. anabiotec. com/testing/detail/hardness-friability-disintegration
